    I don’t think so. Can you be more specific to the location? Thank you for mentioning, I’m trying to find all connectors and boards that were in water , but it’s a visual game and if it isnt visible i may miss it. Description would help too . I will find it and clean it today if so

    I’m in shock about how much money theb4x4 control board and the airbag board are, just ordered. 4x4 board was 6hundred something and airbag board was 8hundred something.

    just got off the

    Thanks I found the sensor. Under the airbox. And I cleaned the one under the battery tray already.

    Cashing in all my change containers tryn to stay afloat! Resigned from my job few weeks ago so plenty of time to do work, but funds are rapidly evaporating. Maybe I’ll have a yard sale , heading to the laundromat soon. All three boards, ecu, 4x4, and airbag will be here tomorrow , if I can get the carpet cleaned and dry out extra good maybe I can put it all back together tomorrow night ..but if the carpet pad is still moist I will be waiting. Not doing this half ass’d

    The laundromat..worked great, but the padding didn’t all survive. No delicate choice on the big Bertha. She is fresh as heck now though! On the bright side it’ll take much less time to dry! 10/10 would do it again. Was fun watching it disintegrate in the washer.

    I scraped off as much as I could then cut-to-shape some foam jute & carpet tape I got from Lowes. It's never going to come off completely - I think it's embedded into the glue of the carpet - but definitely replace it so as to help reduce road noise

    So.... I read you resigned from your job, perhaps it’s not related to your dedication to the truck issue. :eek::bowdown:

    got some parts today! Woohoo! Airbag module and 4x4 control module. Ecu should be here today. Brake line couple days out. Problem is …it’s colder than a witches tit outside and rainy. And I’m sore. May just work inside today, clean the house a bit . Hope for better weather.
    My resignation had nothing to do with my truck issues at all. And I’ve already got a better job where I won’t be forced to fly to California to work. I’ll be in the Midwest and home every weekend . And I got a raise with the new company! Win win. I’m not a huge flying person. I’ve been to South America and a few other places but I loathe flying twice a month which is what I was forced to do with my previous company. Good evening fellas

    Ecu has arrived. Part numbers match. Phase two will be implemented as soon as it isn’t nasty out. Hopefully tomorrow . Woo! Aaaand I’m broke. This better fix it or I’ll be forced to…continue fixing it.
    Good evening fellas

    Following this. Glad you got the truck home, sounds like the shop didn't want to invest the time (and you probably wouldn't want to pay for their shotgun approach either).

    Love that the tow truck driver got it started; he was clearly motivated enough, haha.

    My trash guy woke up a little early and I have a big truckload of crap I’m gonna help him shlep into his truck. (Multiple projects going on at once here) then I’m on the truck. He’s trying to beat the rain
